have more fun, but Edward prefers Brunettes)

Finally! I am caught up to my Twilight post. I went over the weekend with a group of friends from Vermillion. We made shirts together and everything. I know that is totally dorky, but we had a really good time! We drove down to Sioux Falls together and saw it, then went to a few stores up there and out to dinner. It was a much needed break from the kids and I really enjoyed myself. I have seen a few other posts on family/friends blogs and pretty much agree with what they had to say but here's my take on things. Loved it. I have read all of the books and I think that helped a lot when it came to the movie. They did leave a lot out and changed a few things, but all for the sake of time. Things were a little rushed at times, and could come across a little corny if you didn't read it.
The casting, I thought was pretty good. I am assuming they didn't have a HUGE budget to pay for a bunch of A-List actors, so I think they did pretty good. I thought

Bella- did good. In seeing her picture I wasn't sure, but she grew on me. Edward-His eyes were PERFECT if you ask me, and the close ups were great. His teeth kinda bugged me, but really.....
The Cullens were a LITTLE disappointing.
Esme -was ok, I just think she could have been softer looking.
Carlisle-I wish he would have been a little older looking and softer also. His features were to harsh for me. But I think he did a really good job acting the part.
Emmett-Was probably my favorite of the Cullens. I thought he was funny and well cast. Just how I pictured him.
Rosalie-Played the part well, but kind of looks like a trany. She was a bit masculine looking considering she was supposed to be the most beautiful one of all.
Jasper-Looked constipated the whole movie. Needed to be more handsome.
Alice-Great! Wish her hair was a little more "now", but liked her face and her voice.
Jacob-The hair threw me off. He looks a bit femi, but it is supposed to be long, Indian hair so I get it. His face is handsome and he has a great smile, I am excited to see him in the coming movies.
Charlie-Did a good job. The scene where she leaves him just about broke my heart. I felt SO bad for him.
Over all, I really liked it. It left me wishing the rest of the movies were ready for me to see. I admit it, I got sucked in, and I liked it in Vampire Land.

Ha Ha Ha shirts are funny I think dad was wearing the same shirt when he took mom to see it!-hahaha -Nena
(And Yes I publicly announced that I enjoyed the movie!)
Wow, that's a really good synopsis on the characters. I surprisingly completely agree! Well, I think Bella could have let loose just a little more, she grunts too much, but other than that, you are right on. Wish I coulda been there with you gals, you are all too cute. Fun!!!
I totally agree!
You guys all looks so cute in your shirts. How fun to all go together! Jake took me the other night and I really liked it. Great job on the character descripton. I think you are right on. I wasn't so sure about Edward, but he really grew on me. HOpe you guys had a great Thanksgiving!
